With this issue the Tar Heel'' a-g-ain changes hands. The editorship of a college publication is a duty which demands a good deal of time and pains, and the responsibility which goes with it is no light one. Recognizing' this, it is with some hes itancy that we approach the task be fore us. The retiring Editor-in-Chief has most creditably upheld the stand ard set by his predecessors, and if we can in some measure maintain this standard, we shall feel amply repaid for our efforts. But, whatever the Editor-in-Chief may do, the associate Editors make the paper what it is. To their co-operation must be accred ited any success it may attain. shall be y'.ad to have contributions ai any time. Mr. Cox has been placed, on the local department with Mr. Connor. In another column we give in full Dr. Alderman's address to the stu dents before leaving for the Old World. We should have given it last week, but, owing to the lack of space, were compelled to leave it out. The "college spirit" shown on the base-ball field since the practice games commenced is an admirable beginning. Every evening large crowds are out to witness these games. We don't want to let this spirit lag. A player will exert a greater effort in hitting a ball, or run a little harder to catch one when he expects to be greeted by a round of applause. We can't all play ball, but let us go out every afternoon 'and "whoop 'em up." The Tar Heel is the representative of the Athletic and literary life of the student element in the University. It is the one medium of communica tion with the outer college world. As the base-ball season opens its special business will be to give full and accu rate accounts of all games, and to en courage by criticism the work of the team. Its function is a necessary one in college life. It must exist. To ex ist it must have the support of the stu dents. This is a part of college spir it It does not receive the support it should. There are many who do not subscribe for it. They either do not care to keep up with the goings-on in the University life or they are content to get it from a borrowed paper. If you are loyal to the interests of the University, subscribe for the Tak Heel. , And, if you owe us on your subscription, pay us. ' We need it. It will be .remembered that some time ago the Tak Hekl offered to fill' vacancies on the board of editors by competition. Since then a number of articles have been written by men de siring a place; and, as a result, Mr, W. E. Cox has been chosen by the board to till the vacancy caused by the res ignation of Mr. Brogden. We shall continue to observe this system, and EHsha Mitchell Scientific Society. The regular monthly meeting- of the Elisha Mitchell Scientific Soci ety was held in the Chemical Labo ratory Tuesday evening- Ped. 8th. The first payer was by Dr. J, H. Pratt, who was Instructor in Miner alogy in Yale University last fear, now Mineralogist to the State Ge ological Survey. This was a most interesting paper on the "Corundum gems of N. C." Dr. Pratt's work experience in this work has eminent ly fitted him to speak from the stand point of an expert. A short account of the occurrence of Corun dum in N. C. prefaced his remarks upon the valuable gem. There are nine varieties of Corun dum gems known in the World. All of these occur in our state. Cut and uncut stones Were exhibited. The beautiful colouring, great brillian cy, hardness and rarity are criteria by which the value of a gem is de termined. ' The second paper was by Mr. A. W. Belden on Liquid Phosphorus. It was shown in this paper that li quid Phosphorus does not exist as is reported by Messrs. Houston and Thomson. Experiments were con ducted in every7 possible manner in order to find this so-called Liquid Phosphorus but none was found. The liquid Phosphorus does exist under a solution of Potassium Hy droxide but not, as maintained by Houston and Thomson, unchanged in the air. The third paper also by Mr. Bel den was on Some Properties of Zir conium. The solubility of the oxide and hydroxide was reported and specific gravity of oxide and hydroxide was shown to be 5.49 and 3.5 re spectively. The absorption of COs by the Hydroxide, giving basic carbonates, was demonstrated. j The amount of water in the dried hydroxide was determined and the formula calculated 2Jr(OH)4. It is too bad that more of our students do not attend these meet ings, which p.)ssessw much interest, and give a knowledge. of the State's resources to be obtained no where else. ' A Valentine.
